Rated 5 out of 5 by cathpah Absolutely beautiful - go at least one size down
I bought these and the boot from the Signature line, and these are just so much better looking. I also love the distinctive red sole.
Be sure to order at least one full size down. I'm generally a size 9 (occasionally a 9.5), but I ordered these in a size 8, and could've maybe even gone down to a 7. A little silly that the sizing is so off, but well worth it in the end.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cheesemonger Great Boot, sole doesn't last
I'm a little surprised at the other reviews saying that these boots have lasted a long time. I wear mine a fair amount, but they certainly are not my only winter boot, especially considering that they are not insulated. Mine are shot after 2 years as the soles have worn completely away, though I would say they were getting very slippery after the end of the first season. They were a great set of boots, comfortable and attractive, but I wished they would last a longer, (also, what happened to wide sizes LLbean? and why was it so hard for me to find these shoes on your website?) you can get them resoled (and I probably will, but annoying as its just about to get really rainy), but it'll take a month or so to get them back. For two years, they may be well worth the money (probably are), but don't go thinking these are good for 10 years as some other reviews may suggest. Also if you are outside for any extended period of time get the insulated ones, as the rubber will suck the heat right out of you feet, even with the superior bean socks.

I love these boots. Made in Maine and great quality. I live in Minnesota and have been wearing (and biking in) these boots everyday and my feet stay warm (surprisingly). I honestly have no complaints and definitely recommend them.

My 2nd pair of Bean Boots in 20 years. They fit great and are very comfortable. One thing to note is that the Bison leather doesn't come out of the box looking like the picture. It's a solid dark brown, but after a few wears I can tell that it will lighten up to look like the boot in the picture.

Found these boots fit great right out of the box. Already had a pair of 6" regular bean boots and still do. Ordered a size smaller than I wear normally and that worked as well. I wear these in the Sierras winter around the cabin and at home here in So Cal when it's sloppy and rainy in the backcountry while bird hunting. These came w/an extra pair of laces, which I needed cause the first pair were too short.Great boots!

My 19 year old picked these out for Christmas and has worn them everyday since. He likes the flexibility and fit of the boots. Several family members and friends have asked to try them on and they really liked the fit and look of the boots. He has worn them for outdoor labor and hunting. He noted the boots did not provide enough warmth while he was sitting still during a morning hunt, and that he would need warmer socks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CactusJeff LL Bean Bison Boots-QUALITY- I love them!
I have had these boots for 3 days, & I have worn them for more 22 hours ALREADY. I wasn't sure how the fit would be, so I followed the advice of the website and got a size smaller than I would have usually ordered. PERFECT fit that way. I wore them with heavy thick boot socks yesterday- GREAT, and today with not so heavy but still thick socks today. I'm crazy about the look and QUALITY. MADE IN THE USA!!! I am a Texan & I hunt, fish, & walk the dog every morning, and I am VERY HAPPY.

leather is soft and comfortable from the jump. proper sizing allows use of thick socks which make the boots extremely comfortable.
and - they're very cool.

These shoes were purchased for my husband for hunting and have been used a few times so far. They have held up and are great quality. The sizes do run a little big as the sizing indicates, so make sure you read the sizing chart before ordering.
